Close call with a drunk driver!!
05/09/12 11:30 PM

Very close call with a drunk driver on my way in to work as a Ford Ranger crossed over in to my lane in a 55mph and was coming at me head on so I start breaking and flash my lights at him with no luck so I had to do some off-roading with the ZX-14 on wet grass glad I’m still here and did not go down!!!

They don't even have to be drunk to scare you. Twice this week on a 6 mile ride to work has a cage come out of a side street and tried to play tag Bobby.

Off roading on wet grass and keeping her up -- that is the 6 thumbs up for you!

Coot damn that was close; glad you escaped unharmed. Friend of mine two months ago had a head on collision with a drunk driver; he made it through but has months of rehab...They were both in cages.

2nd... Cagers are extra bad here right now... Think it's 'cuz there haven't been many bikes on the roads for months. Now that we're back out there, it's like they're target fixating and headed right towards us... That is if they even see us in the first place!


Glad you're still with us, Coot.

Yep. I had a slow moving car pull right into my lane as I was passing last night. I hit the high beams on the back of his head for a second in case he had no clue I was back there. I can only guess he is deaf or he had his earbuds cranked. Pretty hard to not hear my bike right on your side.

It seems that EVERY freaking time I ride into work I get at least one a-hole try to occupy the lane I am in, while I'm in it..Drivers are brain dead!

It seems that every week there is a rider in South Florida getting hit or having a close call. Most folks in your situation would be hurt or dead. Panda Power indeed. Ride careful my friend


I woke up this morning and I got myself a beer. The future is uncertain and the end is always near.
